Publisher's Synopsis
When three African-American women meet at a resort on the Jersey Shore in the 1920s, they say goodbye to their old lives. Finding men as intoxicating as bootleg liquor, they pin their futures on happily ever after. But love can be worse than a hangover when the men's flaws threaten to destroy them. Edie's battle with addiction tests her friendships and her very sanity, but as soon as lasting strength is in reach, her biggest challenge walks through the door. Hannah breaks her moral code with Clive only once, but fate is about to give her a permanent reminder. When Raoul's wandering eye goes too far, Belle renounces men, but his unbelievable sacrifice makes her think twice. Meanwhile, a local women's organization aims to stamp out immorality at The Three Dolls and, if necessary, the hotel itself. But Belle's awful secret might beat them to it.
